Rise of the Dark Witch

Great Knight Talu was defeated, and it was natural that he should be defeated.

Although Great Knight Talu used the glorious armor that only the Holy Knight could possess, which made the battle a little suspenseful, he was still defeated in the end.

The only thing that made those present happy was that Knight Talu was not a real paladin.

Otherwise, many of the people here who have believed in the Holy Knights all their lives will be hit, and there may be people who can't bear the blow and commit suicide.

The battle was over, and Knight Talu had admitted defeat, but the interest of everyone present had not disappeared. They all stared at Roja with wide eyes.

As a wizard, Roja, what about the wizard’s methods?

What about the weird and magical abilities of wizards?

This may be the only opportunity in a lifetime to see a wizard using his abilities. How could he let it go?

Many people plucked up the courage to persuade Roja.

"Loya, please show me the power of the wizard and open everyone's eyes, right?"

"We have grown up listening to the legends of wizards since we were children. Unfortunately, we are all in our forties and fifties and have never seen the power of wizards. Please grant our wish."

Facing the eager eyes of everyone, Roja could understand their inner desires.

I thought back when he was not a wizard, wasn't he also like this?

Doesn't he also long to see the power of wizards?

Roya has always regretted not being able to watch the shocking battle between the Sejie Paladin and three other wizards in the depths of the Yakara Mountains.

Anyway, it's just a demonstration of the wizard's power. He won't lose anything, so why not do it?

"Since everyone is looking forward to it, I will show it to you." With that said, Roja inserted the Holy Sword Lion Heart Roar into the floor under his feet.

The entire hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone looked straight at Roja with wide eyes. Many people who were standing on the periphery and whose sight was blocked by the crowd in front even climbed directly to the stone pillar regardless of their appearance.

Kakaka——

The roaring blade of the Holy Sword Lion Heart flashed with black thunder-like oscillating power, and the oscillating power was injected into the depths of the ground through the blade.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Roja nervously, watching the Holy Sword Lion Heart roaring with the power of black oscillation.

"What kind of witchcraft will the wizard use?"

"What is the strange and mysterious power of wizards like?"

"Hurry up! Come on! Don't keep dilly-dallying."

The ground suddenly shook violently.

The flat floor paved with marble actually vibrated violently, making crackling and shattering sounds.

Black oscillating forces crawled out from the depths of the ground like wildly growing vines, climbing along the buildings on the ground.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! ——

The table climbed by the oscillating force suddenly shattered into pieces.

The stone pillars in the hall were constantly broken under the entanglement of the oscillating force.

The vast hall that could accommodate thousands of people for a banquet at the same time was filled with black power. Under the influence of the oscillating power, the ground shook and the house shattered and collapsed.

Looking at strips of oscillating force sticking out from the ground, swaying in mid-air like seaweed.

Looking at the furniture and stone pillars that were shattered by the force of the oscillation.

Looking at the house that is about to collapse.

People's mood changed from expectation to fear.

"If this continues, we will die!"

"Get out of here! Run away!"

"The house is falling down!"

Although the oscillating power used by Roja avoided them, what about the collapsed house?

Most of the people present are ordinary people. Once the house collapses, they will be crushed to death!

People fled in panic, and then came into contact with the power of vibration.

"ah--"

When the first one touched the oscillating power and screamed, the others couldn't bear to cover their eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

Because they believe that anyone who touches the power of oscillation will be instantly broken into pieces.

But no.

Those people's bodies only softened and collapsed to the ground under the effect of the oscillating force, as if their bodies were numb after squatting for a long time. They were not injured at all.

After many people fell to the ground due to the power of oscillation, they knew that there was no way to avoid the power of oscillation and left the hall, so they simply stopped moving.

Even if Roja is a wizard, he can't kill them all by showing off the wizard's power, right?

boom!

The house finally collapsed completely.

Seeing the heavy ceiling falling towards them, the knights activated their vitality and took a defensive posture, while other ordinary people closed their eyes in despair.

Suddenly, oscillating forces the size of buckets surged out from deep underground and hit the falling ceiling.

Rumble——

The entire ceiling was turned into powder and blown away by the force of the oscillation.

The cold wind howled.

The bright moonlight shines down.

People stood in the ruined hall and stared at the night sky with dull eyes.

A vast hall with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters was casually destroyed by Roya, a first-class apprentice?

Especially when the hall was destroyed, no one present was injured.

Those who fell to the ground due to the force of the oscillation did not know if it was an illusion, but they felt as if their bodies had been massaged by a masseur, and their bodies were extremely comfortable.

If it weren't for the need to take care of the guests, if the wizard Roja devoted all his efforts to destroying it, the scope and power of the destruction would definitely be greater, right?

Is this the legendary wizard?

Is this the weakest first-class apprentice among wizards?

horrible!

so amazing!

Too strong!

Even if there are real Paladins, their strength is only this, right?

Because the banquet hall was damaged, the banquet dispersed early.

But those who left had satisfied smiles on their faces.

…

For many people, tonight's banquet is over, but for Roja, it is the real beginning.

Weiss pushed the wheelchair ahead and took Roya to a warm room.

The stove in the room was burning brightly, the hot tea on the table was steaming, and the well-dressed servants stood respectfully.

After entering the room, Roja's eyes were suddenly attracted by something located in the corner of the room.

It was something covered with black cloth and looked like a coffin.

"Lord Roja, do you know this thing?" Weiss walked over and gently opened the black cloth covering it.

A dark and shiny piano appeared in front of Roja's eyes.

Roja walked over and caressed the smooth body of the piano absently.

"This is an instrument from the Haibang Empire. It's called a piano. It was a gift from the Earl of Windsor when my grandfather turned 80 years old two years ago. It's a pity that no one here can play it." Weisi said regretfully.

"Piano?" Roja lowered his head, thinking a lot in his mind.

In addition to the presence of extraordinary power, the Shenglan Kingdom is similar to its previous life in the 14th and 15th centuries in many other aspects. Musical instruments such as pianos and violins do not exist.

However, the Shenglan Kingdom does not have it, which does not mean that other empires do not have it.

The Haibang Empire is the most open empire, with many novelties, and music has a very high status in the Haibang Empire. I heard that even the king treats great musicians with courtesy.

Roja knew that the Haibang Empire owned a piano, but this was the first time he saw a real one.

"Lord Roja, do you think you can play the piano?" Weiss asked.

"No……"

Luo Ya just wanted to shake his head and say no.

At this time, a distant memory emerged in his mind.

This memory was too far away, so far away that it was still in his previous life, when he was still a primary school student.

For them, who were just primary school students at that time, musical instruments such as piano and violin were synonymous with nobility and elegance. Anyone who could play the piano or violin was a child of a rich family, a princess and a prince.

At that time, they also learned a lesson called Moonlight, which told how Beethoven created the famous piano piece Moonlight.

At that time, they also found the music score of Moonlight and looked at it.

I was so excited before I read it. After I got the score, I flipped through it in a hurry and then went to play other games in confusion.

Ghosts can understand!

This long-forgotten memory now appears in Roja's mind, and he even remembers the Moonlight score that he only glanced at so clearly.

"Is this the benefit of having a stronger memory?"

Roja sat down in front of the piano and pressed the keys at random to determine the sound each key represented.

Then he started playing.

It was very jerky at first, but gradually became more and more fluent, like someone who has been practicing piano for several years.

The beautiful piano body sounded in the room, and everyone was lost in thought.

The song "Moonlight" was played.

Roja shook his head, "It's very different from the moonlight music I listened to on music software before."

"Sir Roja, you don't need to be modest. With your level, even if you reach the Haibang Empire, I believe you will be first-class." Weiss praised.

"I have lived for more than eighty years, and this is the first time I have heard such beautiful music. I didn't expect you, Mr. Roya, to be a music master." Governor Craigie said with emotion.

Governor Craigie and Miss Weiss praised his moonlight music so much, maybe it was sincere, maybe it was just a compliment.

No matter what the reason is, Roya is still very clear about what level his piano level is.

"Stop complimenting me." Roja closed the piano lid and sat down at the tea table.

He picked up the black tea and took a sip.

While sipping black tea, he slowly chewed pastries.

At the level of Roja, the control of the body has reached a very precise level.

Not only is the food absorption efficiency much higher than that of ordinary people, but even when performing the same movements, the energy consumption is only one-third to one-tenth of that of ordinary people.

The less energy is consumed, the less food is naturally consumed.

The reason why he often eats so much, as much as a hundred people can eat in one meal, is because fighting and training consume a lot of energy.

If you don't fight or practice, you can go without food or drink for ten and a half days without any problem.

Roya eats more for the taste.

Therefore, you will find that he eats very slowly, chewing every bite of food dozens or hundreds of times, and only swallows it until he can no longer taste any food.

Governor Craigie, who was sitting opposite Roja, looked a little lost when he saw Roja drinking black tea and eating cakes elegantly.

Governor Craigie has always been unfavorable to Roja.

Until the moment when Roya set off from Hain Port to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for the wizard trial four years ago, Governor Craigie still did not change his mind.

Deep in his heart, he already regarded Roja and Long as dead people destined to fail in the wizard's trial.

"Another session destined to fail."

"Why is my luck so bad?"

"Why are the trialists I met during my tenure as governor all trash?"

Although the passing rate of wizard trials is very low, the number of people sent by the Craigie family to undergo wizard trials each time ranges from three to five people to as many as a dozen. According to past historical experience, generally every twenty or thirty people A wizard's apprentice will return in the year.

But in the long career of Governor Craigie, no one sent to participate in the wizard trial came back alive.

Even those he favored failed to succeed, let alone Roja?

But he was mistaken!

When Long En came back half a year ago, he couldn't believe his eyes!

Especially after hearing about Roja's deeds from Long En, I knew that Roja was actually able to rank sixth among many trialists, and that he became a first-class apprentice just two years after the wizard trial began. He is a true Wizard genius.

In the future, he is expected to become a third-class apprentice, or even get a glimpse of the realm of a formal wizard.

When he learned all this, he was stunned.

Did he make a mistake?

Could it be that his view of people has always been wrong?

Could it be that it was not that he had never encountered geniuses who could pass the wizard trial before, but it was just because of him that those geniuses fell?

Governor Craigie was confused.

Governor Craigie is a stubborn person, but the facts are right in front of him, what else can he do?

The reason why their family has such a high status now is because they invested in an official wizard three hundred years ago.

However, the official wizard's birthday is approaching. If his previous backer is gone and new wizards cannot be trained in the future, the decline of their family is inevitable.

After all, Hain Port is the largest port in the Shenglan Kingdom, and there are countless people who covet this piece of fat.

As long as they can continuously cultivate wizard apprentices, even first- and second-class apprentices, then they can occupy Hain Port even without formal wizards as backers.

If you can't even train a wizard apprentice...

When he thought that his family might have to rely on Roya, Governor Craigie had to take action no matter how reluctant he was.

"Master Roya, congratulations on passing the wizard trial. I wonder when you and Weiss will get married?" Governor Craigie asked with a smile.

"Um?"

Roja was stunned.

What nonsense is Governor Craigie saying?

Roja turned his head and looked at Weiss.

I saw Weiss lowering her head shyly, her ears turning red.

Although Weiss didn't say anything, this attitude said everything.

I see.

Roja already understood.

When he and Weis met for the first time, Weisi was an innocent girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

He spent one year in the Trial of Green Grass at Hain Port, and then stayed in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for four years. Five years have passed since he met Weiss.

Five years is enough time for a little girl who was an innocent girl when they first met her to grow into a mature beauty.

In this era where most people get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, being unmarried at the age of twenty will definitely attract countless rumors.

It's okay for men, it can be said that it's for cultivation and career, while women will only consume energy and affect themselves.

What about the woman?

There is no way a woman can make so many excuses!

Weiss was a member of the sparsely populated Craigie family, and Governor Craigie would never allow her to remain unmarried at the age of twenty!

Even if you don't get married, you should at least be engaged and have a fiancé.

Weisi didn't want to be considered as a marriage partner and marry a man she didn't like, so she made an excuse, an excuse that she had already made a private life-long commitment with Roya.

At that time, Roja was conducting wizard trials in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, and it was impossible for Governor Craigie to ask Roja for clarification.

And considering that Roya and Weiss were often together in the past, this possibility is very high.

Although Governor Craigie at that time did not think highly of Roja at all and felt that Roja's wizard trial would definitely fail.

But what if?

What if he did not believe in evil and forced Weisi to marry off, but Roja passed the wizard trial and became a great wizard apprentice. When the king returned, he found that his beloved woman Weisi had already married under the force of the family.

Their family must be prepared to bear the wrath of a wizard's apprentice!

So after learning about Roya and Weiss's "adultery", Governor Craigie could only suppress his anger.

At this time, Governor Craigie was so lucky that he was calm enough at that time.

He looked at his granddaughter Weiss, who was shy and with her head lowered, and at Roja who was silently drinking black tea without speaking.

"Master Roya, are you worried about the ten-year trip to the wizard's station? Are you afraid that an accident will happen at the wizard's station and Weiss will be left widowed?"

Governor Craigie, who thought he had guessed Roya's inner thoughts, smiled and said, "Young Master Roya, do you know? Three hundred years ago our Craigie family was just a small viscount family."

"The reason why I was able to be promoted to the earl family and manage the prosperous place of Hain Port is because there was a man who became a wizard apprentice with the help of my ancestors."

"The wizard apprentice later became an official wizard, one of the three major wizards in the Shenglan Kingdom today!"

"Ever since I learned that Master Roya passed the wizard test, I have written to that adult to beg her for help. I should get a reply in a few days."

"With the help of that adult, and with your strength and talent, there will definitely be no problem in the ten-year journey to the wizard's station."

Click!

The tea cup in Roja's hand suddenly broke, and warm tea flowed out from the crack, soaking Roja's fingers.

Looking at Roya who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, Governor Craigie laughed loudly, "Master Roya, you don't need to be so excited, and you don't need to thank me. We will be a family soon. Please help this little one." You should be busy."

Governor Craigie's eyes flickered between Roya and Weiss, "Well, as we get older, we feel tired after just saying a few words. I'll go down and rest first. You two haven't seen each other for so long, there must be something wrong. You have a lot to talk about, right? I won’t disturb you young couple."

The servant wheeled away Governor Craigie's wheelchair.

Weiss waved her hand and asked all the servants in the room to retreat.

He immediately apologized to Roja, "Sir Roja, I had no choice but to do that. I hope you can understand."

"understand?"

"And it's not like you're without any benefits, is it?"

"...There will be no next time!"

Roja snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left the room.

Weiss was the only one left in the room standing with an ugly expression.
